Mocking Modules with Mocha

I could not find any examples on mocking modules with mocha. It’s probably because it’s so easy! It’s just like mocking an instance of a class.

the_module.rb :

module TheModule
    def the_module_function
        return "the real value"
    end
end

test.rb :

require "test/unit"
require "mocha"
require "the_module"
include TheModule

class TheModuleTest < Test::Unit::TestCase
    # replace 'the real value' with 'the mocked value'"
    def test_it
        assert TheModule.the_module_function == "the real value"

        TheModule.stubs(:the_module_function).returns("the mocked value")

        assert TheModule.the_module_function == "the mocked value"
    end
end

Running the tests:
